TABLE FOR THE IVIANUFACTURE OF CANDY.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters' Patent No. 293,931, dated February 19, 1884.-.

Application filed August 13, 1883. (No model.)

To @ZZ zul/tom, t may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES ADoLPH AL- IsKY, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Portland, in the county of Multnomah and State of' Oregon, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tables for Manufacturing Candy or other Confectionery, of which the following is a speciiication.

My invention particularly relates to such a .table of which the slab or top is cast-iron, having lugs or pins on its under side, so that in conjunction with the bottom part a hollow spaceis formed for the reception of water, either hot or cold, and by the use of the water the candy or confection placed upon the slab or top can be quickly cooled, heated, or tempered, as desired. Steam also can be used.

Heretofore marble slabs have been used upon tables to place the candy or confection upon and allow it to cool thereon 5 but the great difficulty with the marble is that it becomes heated from the candy and takes too long to cool, making the process of manufacture slow and tedious; and I propose to overcome this difficulty by my improved table and cooling arrangement; and my invention consists in constructing the lower frame or bottom of table so as to envelop, as it were, the slab, and attaching to the lower frame screw-threaded sockets, into which are screwed the legs of table; by placing a lining of zinc or othersuitable metal upon the lower frame, and upon which rests the slab or top of table, a hollow intervening space being formed by means of the pins 'orlugs cast on under side of slab; by wedging in between the zinc lining and iron top or slab vpieces of suitable wood or other material, to prevent any water coming up onto the top or slab, these pieces being upon both sides and end of the table; by attaching a suitable inlet-pipe provided with a stop-valve for the introduction of water or steam to the hollow space or interior of the table, and also an exit-pipe to carry off the water when desired.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specication, Figure l is a view inperspective of my improvementin tables. Fig. 2 is a view in longitudinal section of my invention, and Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the exitpipe.

Ain Fig. 1 represents the table complete.

B in Fig. 2 represents the lower part of table or bottom. It is constructed as shown, extending up at right angles on the ends.

C C C are screw-threaded sockets bolted or otherwise attached to b ottom B. Into these sockets C are screwed the legs D D D. There are six sockets and six legs shown on the drawings; but I do not confine myself to any specie number.

E is a lining of zinc, or other suitable material, extending over the upper surface of bottom B, and being brought up and over the ends b b of part B in the form of a clamp, where it is suitably tacked or fastened.

F is the iron slab or top of table A, having pins or lugsf f f to keep it up from bottom B and form hollow interior Top F stands above the ends b b and sides c c of bottomv B, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3.

G G G G are wedges, which are driven in between the top F and ends and sides b b c c, to form a tight joint and prevent water from coming up onto slab F.

H is the inlet-pipe for water, provided with stop-valve h, and connected with some suitable water-reservoir, or with the boiler when hot water is used.

I is the eXit-pipe, by which the water or steam can be drawn off when desired. It is provided with an inside pipe, t', which eX- tends up higher than the zinc lining, and prevents foul matter or refuse in the water from getting into the pipe, and it can be unscrewed and taken out at will.

The operation of my invention is as follows: The candy or other confection is spread upon the table or slab F, and the water is allowed to enter into the hollow space N between the the top F and bottom B. If cold water, then the candy will soon cool by the steady now of cold water. If `desired to heat the candy,

then hot water of necessary temperature can be introduced from the boiler; or, if desired to temper the article of candy or confection 'being made, then hot and cold water, as de sired, or steam from the boiler in factory.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
